Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Climate Change July began with the promise of gloriously hot weather – after the first week or so. Initially July followed the pattern of overcast and gloomy, continuing June’s miserable end. Loitering within the lure of nicer, brighter skies was a potential trap. The much-desired heatwave that summer should […]
It’s been a long time coming, in more ways than one. Black Widow is the solo story of the titular character that’s long overdue. There have been discussions, conversations and meetings, and finally, after all of that, the movie got made, only for the covid-19 pandemic to push it back, again and again. Now, after […]
It’s the 26th of June 1996. On a warm summer’s evening 25 year-old Gareth Southgate, at the time an Aston Villa player, stepped up to take England’s fifth penalty in a semi-final shootout with Germany. The quietly determined defender’s penalty was saved by ‘keeper Andreas Kopke, and Andreas Moller scored the next penalty to send […]
Not for the first time we find ourselves diving into the world of David Thiessen and his viewpoints, this time on the recent release of Bill Cosby from prison. For those who are unaware, back in 2018 Cosby was convicted and jailed for aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand. He has been the subject of […]
Ah Paul. Captain, my Captain. As always, the wonderfully creative blogger has come up with questionnaire gold. Would this meerkat be up to the task of unravelling his fiendish and challenging quiz? Would I ever! 1. You and a stranger are stuck in an elevator for three hours. After how many minutes would you tell them […]
This is obviously a work of fiction, and it’s all in the name of fun. Enjoy! It’s December 2010. The FIFA Executive Committee has just announced that Russia and Qatar will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. The decisions send shockwaves through the football world as suggestions of bribery and corruption hit FIFA and […]
Following on from yesterday’s post, whereby certain Fandom Menace supporters were making highly spurious and completely unsubstantiated claims about Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman, we have a breakdown of the alleged toxic nature of Star Trek Discovery’s production, written by one Jack Beers, aka @waytoomuchbeer on Twitter. I will preface with the point that Jack […]
Remember Oliver Franke, aka Divine Guardian? You know, the guy who claimed inside knowledge of the demise of Star Trek Discovery, over and over again… only to be wrong, on every occasion? Well he’s sharing some stuff from Bounding into Clickbait (sorry, that’s Bounding into Comics), concerning claims of bullying behind the scenes of DSC. […]
We’re at the end of June people! This is not a drill – we are halfway through 2021! I know right? It doesn’t feel quite right, but here we are, and what have we learned and accomplished in the first half of 2021? But first, how does the first half of 2021 compare to the […]
The DoE wants kids to learn about shared British values… not only does this sound suspiciously like nationalist indoctrination, by the time this day goes ahead (assuming it proceeds as planned) Scottish schools will be closed for the summer holidays! Somehow the good people of the Department for Education forgot that. I have no problem […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education. Tom believes that education should be in private hands, which he believes would therefore be subject to the whim and will of parents. He does not like what state education teaches, and considers it to immoral. […]
